    Wu Sangui took the Eight Banners Fushou Ointment seeds that Fatty Lu offered with both hands, and went back to Kunming happily. The lackeys of Pingxi Palace and jackals and leopards also happily followed back to share the spoils, but Liu Xuanchu knew very well that the seeds were only so small, peeping  There are so many people there, and when they return to Kunming, there will be a lot of noise in the Pingxi Palace, so they don't bother to go to the water, and they use the excuse that the construction of the Nule Peak military camp needs people from the Pingxi Palace to preside over the construction, so they volunteered to Wu Sangui to ask for help.  The errand asked to stay in Qujing temporarily.

    Although Fatty Lu proposed the construction of the Nule Peak barracks, since Fatty Lu also has an identity as the eyeliner sent by Xiao Mazi to monitor Wu Sangui, it is really inconvenient for Fatty Lu to publicly appear on the construction of the barracks, so considering this point, Wu Sangui is very happy.  He readily agreed to Liu Xuanchu's request.  To Liu Xuanchu's surprise, Wang Shirong also proposed to stay in Qujing for a while to help Liu Xuanchu supervise the construction of the Nule Peak Camp. Wu Sangui immediately agreed upon hearing this¡ªFatty Lu is Liu Xuanchu's favorite student, and the master and apprentice teamed up to create anger  Although the Lefeng camp would not join forces to engage in private fraud and embezzle public funds, but Wang Shirong, who had always been at odds with the master and apprentice, volunteered to watch here, so Wu Sangui was of course more at ease.

    "Mr. Liangchen, what about it?" After sending Wu Sangui's team away, Liu Xuanchu took the opportunity and asked Wang Shirong with a wry smile: "Who am I, Liu Maoya, don't you know? Don't you think I will join hands with my disciples?"  , Embezzling the king¡¯s camp construction money? It seems that the money for building the Nule Peak camp was directly paid from my student Lu Yifeng, right?"

    "Is Mr. Maoya too narrow-minded? Am I, Wang Shirong, that kind of person?" The crow laughed at the black pig, and Wang Shirong snorted coldly, pouted at Wu Sangui's team that had gone far away, and said with a sneer, "Same as Mr. Maoya,  I also want to stay in Qujing to avoid trouble, otherwise, go back to Qujing to divide the seeds, say a wrong sentence casually, give less to one person and give more to another person, and immediately offend them, and I am too lazy to argue with them.  It's better to hide in Qujing and wait for the limelight to pass before going back."

    "Mr. Liangchen is really clever. Anyway, when we return to Kunming this time, the prince's place is full of excitement. We don't want to join in the excitement, and it's better not to watch the excitement." Liu Xuanchu laughed, and then he realized that Wang Shirong and himself thought of going together.  .

    "But Maoya, don't be too happy too soon." Wang Shirong said coldly: "By the way, Mr. Maoya, please inform Gao Tu that although the Nule Peak camp was built with money from him, it will still be built from him in the future.  He deducted from the fifty thousand taels of silver he borrowed from the prince, but in the final analysis it is still the prince's silver, so if he uses these silvers, or if he does nothing, wastes money and wastes money to set up the Nule Peak Camp, he still gets nothing in the end, and the gain outweighs the loss.  Then I still want to invite the prince and ask him for an explanation!"

    After finishing speaking, Wang Shirong turned his head and left, leaving Liu Xuanchu shaking his head and smiling wryly, completely helpless with Wang Shirong's bear temper.

    Wang Shirong's mind is indeed a little small, but his ability to handle affairs is not enough. With the help of him and Liu Xuanchu, when he started to build the Nule Peak Camp, Fatty Lu was obviously much more relaxed, except for recruiting civilian husbands and borrowing slaves from An Shixian  In addition to supplementing manpower, Fatty Lu can wholeheartedly guide the workers to build the blast furnace, plan and arrange various construction sites, and hoard all kinds of useful materials. There is no need to worry about the rest, and the progress of the project has also been greatly accelerated.  By the end of October, the Nule Peak camp had begun to take shape, and the temporary construction site near Sanchakou Fort was completely relocated. The workers and construction sites were all moved to Nule Peak, and the safety factor and confidentiality factor were greatly improved.

    The rapid progress of the project is of course related to the cement newly developed by Fatty Lu. The temporary construction site near Sanchakou Fort started working day and night, crushing and calcining the limestone and clay that can be found everywhere in Qujing, and then adding gypsum to grind it finely to produce high-quality cement.  Youwumei's original cement was transported to the camp of Nule Peak on the banks of the Niulan River 20 miles away, where it was cast into concrete cement slabs or used to bond blue bricks to build the first batch of man-made cement houses in the world.  The world's first man-made concrete field was produced.

    Of course, because the first batch of concrete houses in the world were built by Lu Fatty, this has also become the point that later generations of mites attack Lu Fatty crazily-destroying the environment, and it is the chief culprit for the flood of unsightly concrete forests!  At the same time, when producing concrete cement slabs, in view of the high price and scarcity of steel bars, Fatty Lu cut corners and replaced steel bars with bamboo poles to mass-produce cement slabs with bamboo poles that were quite strong in the cold weapon era.  He became the patriarch who cut corners and cut materials in the construction industry of later generations, and was worshiped by countless real estate developers, vying to follow suit.

    During this period, Fatty Lu¡¯s brother-in-law Shang Zhixin actually came to Qujing to visit his sister and brother-in-law once. After repeatedly persuading Fatty Lu to be transferred to Guangdong to no avail, he heard that all the seeds of the Eight Banners medicine had fallen.Rong Rong and Liu Xuanchu invited the shield to wait and see, and Fatty Lu personally led the craftsmen to operate it carefully.

    In fact, as long as you know the principle and the method of safe production, the old Nuo brand gunpowder is still very simple. First pour the nitric acid into a small glass jar immersed in cold water at the bottom of your waist, add a small amount of natural baking soda to neutralize it, and then slowly pour it into  For sulfuric acid, stir it evenly with a glass rod, then add glycerin more slowly, and stir for about ten minutes. After it stabilizes, it will become the famous and extremely dangerous nitroglycerin.  In the end, Fatty Lu, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, used a straw to absorb a very small amount of nitroglycerin as the primer, and then added diatomaceous earth into the nitroglycerin. After the diatomaceous earth completely absorbed the nitroglycerin, he became even more famous and incomparable.  Safe old Noble dynamite.

    Put the old Nuo brand gunpowder into two small wooden boxes, holding one small wooden box, Fatty Lu couldn't even close his mouth with a smile, while Wang Shirong and Liu Xuanchu took the other small wooden box and looked left and right, really don't understand what this thing is  The power is there.  Under their strong request, Fatty Lu took out a catty of Lao Nuo brand gunpowder and stuffed it into a thin iron can, then put the iron can between two big stones, hung a stone on the top of the iron can, tied the stone  Pull out the rope for half a mile and fix it, then make a depression in the thin iron tank under the stone, pour in the liquid nitroglycerin used to detonate, and finally run away and hide in a safe place.

    "Everyone, please keep your eyes wide open, don't blink, let's witness the moment of a miracle together!" With a coquettish shout, Fatty Lu cut the rope himself, and the stone hanging from one end of the rope fell to the ground with precision.  Hitting on nitroglycerin ?

    "Boom!" There was an earth-shattering loud noise, and the entire Nule Peak seemed to be shaking from its roots, and gravel and mud were flying all over the sky. Although Fatty Lu and the others were hiding half a mile away, they were also shaken by the shock and stood up.  Unsteady, and his whole body was drenched with gravel and mud all over his head and face.

    "Ouch!" It was also retribution. Later, the first explosion of gunpowder, which brutally killed countless soldiers of the Qing Dynasty and was hailed as the Sanhao brand, caused a fist-sized stone to fly half a mile away, hitting Lu Xun impartially.  On the fat man's forehead, Fatty Lu screamed like a pig being killed, and a big bump quickly swelled up on his forehead.

    Liu Xuanchu and Wang Shirong were not in the mood to care about the pitiful appearance of Fatty Lu. As soon as the gunpowder smoke cleared, they rushed to the scene of the explosion with a few craftsmen.  The bluestone weighing more than a hundred catties was blown to pieces on the spot, and the gravel flew out for half a mile around the explosion point, scattered all over the place, and the tin cans used to hold the new-style gunpowder did not even contain slag.  There is only a little iron powder and iron filings sunk deep into the blast pit more than a foot deep, and it is almost impossible to find it.

    "Oh my God! How powerful are Westerners' gunpowder?! It's dozens or even hundreds of times more powerful than our gunpowder!" Wang Shirong was the first to shout palely.

    "Mr. Wang, I was the first to research this kind of gunpowder, and it doesn't exist in the West." Fatty Lu protested shamelessly.

    "Three good things!" Liu Xuanchu suddenly hugged Fatty Lu, and shouted frantically: "We have hope! We have hope! With this thing, the prince has hope, and we also have hope!"

    "It's just that it's too troublesome to ignite the fire. It can be used to blow up the enemy's city wall, but I'm afraid it won't work on the field battlefield." Wang Shirong said regretfully.  At the end, Wang Shirong suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Lu, is this thing expensive to make? How many times is it more expensive than gunpowder?"

    "The current cost is of course expensive, but after mass production, it will definitely be cheaper, and it should not exceed twice the price of ordinary gunpowder." Fatty Lu replied seriously: "As for the problem of detonation, neither my mentor nor Mr. Wang need to worry about it.  Start researching the detonator specially used for detonation, and then it can be used not only on the battlefield, but also on explosive shells, sowe all hate those people so much and have a good drink!"

    Wang Shirong was tongue-tied, and after a long time, Wang Shirong turned his face away and said, "Lord Lu, you are indeed a priceless treasure bestowed to us by the heavens in the Pingxi Palace!"

    "Sanhao, the detonator, the detonator you are talking about!" Liu Xuanchu excitedly shook Fatty Lu in his arms, and yelled, "Get it done! Get it out for me! I want to take it back to Kunming and let the prince see it with his own eyes.  How powerful is the three good gunpowder! Let the prince make it, let the prince make a lot of it!"

    "Teacher, don't worry, Kunming City can't be built in a day, these things have to be done slowly." Fatty Lu said: "First of all, I will of course make a detonator, let the prince see the power of the new gunpowder, and strengthen his will."  Confidence. Then I've got to figure out how to mass-produce this gunpowder. And then I've got to work on artillery and propellants, and then"

    "And then what?" Liu Xuanchu asked impatiently.

    "After that, of course there are mortars and gas bombs." Fatty Lu replied with a smile: "With detonators, new gunpowder and propellant, I hope to create a weapon that can be carried by a person, but the power is far away.  The mortar on top of the Hongyi Cannon! Another gas bomb, I am sure to produce at least two kinds of gas bombs, which can kill the enemy invisible! With these things, who else in the world can be the opponent of our Pingxi Palace?!  "(To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
